On the way back, I kept thinking about what Jin Zhongyue and his wife said.
One of their words reminded me that even my grandfather and Master Jiang were trapped in the Cao family back then, which shows that the Cao family is a bottomless abyss. Maybe everything I saw before was just scratching the surface.
The old house that Liu Hao and Zhou Xiang were responsible for guarding was actually an ice prison.
Shimen Village is not only a prison for the Hai family, but also a heart-breaking prison.
There are five hells in Taoism, namely the hell of cold ice, the hell of burning fire, the hell of cutting out the heart, the hell of pulling out the tongue, and the hell of disemboweling the belly.
In fact, there is another interpretation of the Taoist "five hells", which represent the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, which in turn correspond to the five elements of fire, wood, earth, metal, and water.
This is why it is said that the human body is actually a small world with all five elements.
Because of this, there has always been a folk legend that the five Taoist prisons can complement the five elements and help people cultivate and become immortals.
This theory of becoming an immortal is illusory and cannot be fully believed, but these five hells are definitely worth paying attention to.
It is definitely not a coincidence that the Ice Prison was discovered in the Cao family's old house where Liu Hao and Zhou Xiang were guarding, and the Heart-Severing Prison was discovered in Shimen Village.
The five hells will not exist alone. Since these two hells have appeared, there are definitely three other hells.
What on earth do the Cao family want to do?
Is there someone in the Cao family who is trying to become an immortal?
I've thought about it over and over again, and I think it's possible, but not very likely.
After all, the legend of the five Taoist prisons has been around for a long time, and many people have tried it over the ages, but without any signs of success.
Before, I thought that the Cao family spent ten years building Qinglong Mountain into an impregnable Feng Shui formation, which was a generous enough effort.
But now it seems that the layout of the Cao family is more than just Qinglong Mountain?
The Five Taoist Prisons, the Cao Family Mansion, and Qinglong Mountain are all just part of this formation!
I used the qi-gazing technique to observe the Cao family's mansion before, and found that there were strange changes in the atmosphere above the mansion. This should be caused by the destruction of the Ice Prison and the Heart-Severing Prison among the five Taoist prisons.
Coupled with the troubles caused by the South Sea Demonic Pearl, the Cao family's luck experienced strange fluctuations.
Two of the five prisons were broken, which will definitely have a huge impact.
To deal with this change, the Cao family has only two ways to go.
The first step is to quickly build an Ice Prison and a Heart-Severing Prison, but from the current point of view, this is too difficult and almost impossible to complete.
Because these two prisons were formed over many years, it is really difficult to recreate them in a short time.
Since this road doesn't work, we can only settle for the next best thing, which is to think of a transitional method to temporarily make up for this shortcoming.
Judging from the current situation, Cao Song's so-called car accident is probably a countermeasure they used to make up for their shortcomings.
This car accident originally came about in an extremely strange way.
But the Cao family took advantage of this to have fun. Not only did they attract a large number of Xuancheng people to come to the Cao family to pray for blessings, but they also gathered a large number of Feng Shui masters to help the Cao family's house.
This two-pronged approach indeed temporarily stabilized the situation.
But what makes me most suspicious is Cao Song, who is lying on the bed with gauze all over his body.
I suspect that person is not Cao Song at all, and the other person may not even be at Cao's house.
If not Cao Song, then who?
"I still think there is something wrong with the Cao family. What do you think?"
Shen Qingyao was the first to speak.
"Why do you think there is something wrong with the Cao family?"
Shao Zilong and I were holding teacups and drinking water. Shao Zilong asked doubtfully.
"Don't you see it? There is no such coincidence in the world, and I even doubt that the person in the Yin Yang Temple is in the Cao family." Shen Qingyao said.
"Ah? At Cao's house? What do you mean?" We were both stunned.
"You two were also present at the time. Don't you think it's strange that the person on the bed is wrapped in gauze?" Shen Qingyao said with a cold face.
"Do you think that person is not Cao Song at all, but the person from Yin Yang Temple who was captured by them?" I suddenly asked.
Shao Zilong slapped his thigh and said, "Listening to what you said, it seems to make some sense!"
"You two, don't be so arrogant to me!" Shen Qingyao slammed the table.
The table made of solid wood cracked with a crack, which showed how powerful the blow was.
Shen Qingyao's face turned pale and she stared at us coldly and said, "I know that you two have always had reservations about me because of my sister. Who do you think I am, Shen Qingyao?"
"My sister is my sister, and I am me. Did so many brothers in our association die in vain?"
Shao Zilong and I looked at each other, both of us were quite moved. We both stood up and said sincerely, "Yes, yes, it's all our fault. It's our fault. We admit our mistakes!"
Shen Qingyao's eyes turned red, she snorted coldly and looked away.
"This is indeed our fault, why don't you curse a few more times?" Shao Zilong said.
"You really deserve to be scolded!" I nodded, "Xiaoyao was even made angry by us and cried."
When Shen Qingyao heard this, she hurriedly turned her back and said angrily, "Who is crying in anger?"
"That's right, you think Xiaoyao likes to cry like that girl named Jin. How could she cry?" Shao Zilong said.
"Oh, I must have read it wrong." I quickly admitted my mistake, "Well, Xiaoyao has the final say this time. Whatever Xiaoyao says we should do, we will do it!"
"Okay, no problem!" Shao Zilong said.
"Am I curious?" Shen Qingyao turned around and said, "I think you two are a good partner, so I'm telling you these things. If you still don't believe it, that doesn't matter, I'll just leave!"
I poured three cups of tea and handed one cup to Shen Qingyao and Shao Zilong respectively.
"It was all our fault before. After drinking this cup of tea, we can start from scratch."
Shen Qingyao glanced at us, was silent for a moment, and took the tea.
"Done!"
Shao Zilong and I drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. Although Shen Qingyao still had a cold face, she also drank the tea.
"Okay, Xiaoyao, just say it, we'll listen."
After the three of them sat down again, Shao Zilong smiled.
"Actually, you two have already suspected the Cao family, right?" Shen Qingyao said coldly.
Shao Zilong and I laughed.
Shen Qingyao did not pursue the matter further and said, "I want to see who the person on the bed is."
"What do you think?" Shao Zilong and I both asked seriously.
In fact, Shen Qingyao has the same idea as us. The most critical thing at the moment is Cao Song wrapped in gauze.
The other party must have a special purpose for doing this, and it is probably a very important purpose.
In this case, the other party will definitely not be easily contacted, not even Shen Qingyao.
"Didn't you say that some evil sorcerers from Tongzhou came to take revenge? You two look quite similar." Shen Qingyao said.
